What is the best way to get at your annoying office colleague? A passive-aggressive note, of course! After all, as anybody who's ever read Sun Tzu's The Art of War will know, the best way to deal with somebody stealing your sandwiches or leaving loaves of bread in the toilet (seriously) is to leave them a snarky and anonymous note expressing your displeasure. Problem solved...right? Well, not quite. Sparks turn into flames and notes turn into a war, with these passive-aggressive quotes.
Anyway, if you are looking for a spiteful way to stop the office food thief - here are some passive-aggressive examples for your disposal. Just be careful to find your match in this manner of solving a dispute - otherwise, you might be the one who got passive-aggressive'd.
So, as the famous war-cry goes - liberty or death! Good luck!

So apparently now it's a commom trend to steal your coworkers food and make THEM look bad if they have the nerve to say something... I know leaving your parents house and their spoiling can be difficult sometimes but well, providing for yourself is part of the adult life, everyone must go there one day (sooner than later please for the sake of your coworkers).
Believe it or not, it was the 40-50 y.o. women stealing the food at the large office I worked at. We were 1,100 people under roof, with 4 breakrooms and a cafeteria on site, yet they continued to steal food. People that do that should be fired on the first offense!
Load More Replies...This makes me so happy hat I'm a freelancer, no matter how difficult it can be sometimes.
Debbie should be charged with several counts of theft under $5000 (Canadian law might be called something else other places) and fired they make light of her and she's stealing. What if her coworker is diabetic? I am and if I don't eat right I get very sick. She's a dirty thief and a horrible person
Judging by a lot of these, most people do not understand what passive/aggressive means, and are just douches responding to getting called out for their thievery.
It was an industry at the office I worked in. I mean 80% of the food people brought was stolen from them.
Load More Replies...Brings back nightmares. Years stuck at a desk surrounded by every variety of stunted frustrated folk working on their neuroses, pretending to be friends. Very funny 'tho.
